‘Thread of Light’ is a group art exhibition bringing together the work of contemporary artists living in the UK, at P21 Gallery London, for six weeks as of May 2017.
In response to the recent events of our time, an increasingly stereotypical imagery is being used to depict the peoples of the Middle East. Here, contemporary artists can comment and shed light on how they find strength, peace or play in these times of conflict in the Middle East. The intention is to provide an alternative image or work of art to challenge the oversimplified Middle Eastern identity.
The brief of the show can be interpreted by the literal or figurative meaning of the words that make up the title ‘Thread of Light’. Artists can submit work with a reference to ‘light’, whether in the literal sense as a direct source of illumination, less directly through photography and moving image or metaphorically in any medium. Transparency, layering, shadows and volume all speak of light. An alternative but equally relevant approach to the brief is to explore the second half of its title, the ‘thread’. There is again flexibility in its definition, from being a long thin line or strand to being a single flow of control within a group of separate items.
